THE AsHEvILLE IMPROVEMENT AND
STREET RAILWAY COMPANY
LAKE VIEW PARK-A GRAND AID
DITIoN TO THE ATTRACTIONS OF
> OUR METROPOLIS.
We are glad to learn from Mr.. E.
HI. Buckman, who comes to Ashe.
vile for the purpose of investing
money and greatly benftting our
community, some of the plans Of
the Company he represents, The
Asheville Improvement and Street
Railway Company. The gentlemen
composing our Asheville Company
are interested in a similar enterprise
in Birmingham Gala } where they
have many miles of street railway
and most attractive park in sue
cessful operation.
The intention here is to establish
a Park on the West side of the
French Broad, above Tahkeoskee
farm, land connect with Asheville
by rail, crossing the river on an iron
bridge in the vicinity of the depot.
From the depot the street railway
will probably run up the Town
Branch and up Bailey street to Pat
ton Avenue to an attractive little
station at the foot of Battery Park.
The cars to be run on the road
are made by the Pullman Co. and
it is needless to say are perfect in all
their appointments, The company
has not yet decided whether to use
electric or steam motors, but the
grades in our mountain city are so
heavy that some powerful means of
propulsion are necessary. Out at
the Park the company will spare no
pains to give the puolic every at~
traction. Engineere have been over
the ground and find the location
everything that could be desired for
the purposes in view. The lake
will be over quarter Of mile long
and several hundred yards in width,
with boats and a boat house; pa
vilion and small hotel will be built
at once, and the..company proposes
letting out contracts for a num-
Der Of small cottages to be erected
by the coming season. We are
gratified tonote the immediate pros
pect of filling one of Asheville's
greatest wants, place of amuse>
ment and entertainment, where our
citizens can find recreation and our
visitors another inducement to so
iourn amonst us.

lFor the Asheville CITIZEN.
A COUNTRYMAN'S VIEWS.

Editors Citizen:- :-All the interests l
have in Asheville relate to its well being
and usefulness. FormeTlyit was hsg-
gard looking place, but MONEY and work
have improved it wonderfully. tits the
invalid's best resting place, the resort of
the Summer tourist, and the temptation
Of capitalists. The right man for Mayor,
for one term, will carry you beyond the
breakers. Town citizens surely have too
much hard sence, to yield to personal,
sectional, or political feelings. You have
hundreds Of men good enough, and
well enough informed; but having the
"hang," and the tact are main qualities
tions. Do don't belittle yourselves, and
doom the town, by wrangling over half
a dozen candidates, when one will do sS
well rs another, land q little better.

Our old friend w G. Corpening,
who has been at the growing village
of Birmingham (Ala.) for some
months, managing a big contract in
constructing the Memphis, Bir-
mingham and Kansas Railroad. He
says Birmingham is certainly grow

prospect of abatement in the boom
which set in some months ago. He
has been gone a little over six

Ashevills has made gigantic strides
in the mean time, and still a grow

Nothing is known about the election of

NOTED to the position, with headquarters
in Richmond. The managers of the
Danville and East Tennessee lines will
report to General Manager Thomas, and
while he is at the head of the manage

frequent visits of chicken thieves to
his fowl>house Mr.. w. V. Garner
loaded an old musket heayily-with

with wires 80 arranged that any one
entering would cause the gun to

connect the wires at night and to
disconnect them in the morning.
Through carelessness, however, the
trap was left set yesterday, and on
entering the house in the afternoon
Mr.. Garner discharged the gun and
received the entire load in the left
foot. Drs. Courts, Balsley, Powell
and Mathews were summoned, and
upon consultation decided that the
unfortunate young man must lose

putated at the instep. The patient
is doing we'll. Being a young man
Of much popularity the occurrence

Fhe following is the Ode written b
Miss E. B. Cheesborough, daughter
Mr.. John Cheesborough Of this count
and read by the Rev. Chas. A. stokel
At Charleston on Tuesday on the occ,
sion Of the unveiling of the Calhou
monument:
When Truth looked from her starry heights
And called fol champions brave,
He heard the summons and went forth
His native South to. save.
Her balance In his honest hands
Fair Justice eager placed,
While Wilson, with her radiant crown,
Hissubtle genius Rracei.
The Constitution was his star,
And guided by its light,
He strove TO steer the Ship Of State
Through the darkness Of the night.
DishonOr, worse 10 him than death,
He sternly kept at bay,
And, on the whitest heights of Truth,
serenely tOoE his way.
Invinciblein in :oglestern,
All potent In debate,
He sent the arrOWa winging back
TO the envenomed hesft otshksa.
He bore the odium Of freproach
While battling for the right;
His prophet voice in elfi1on tones
Foretold the coming night
WhenMns W, uld set o'er fields of blood,
And stars shine Ger the same,
When Wars dread torches, hot and red,
Ger Southern homes would fame.
o, prophet Of the eagle eye
y, patriot without stain!
ThoIst given priceless gift to US
In thy untarnished name.
For this we've sought to honor thee,
Great champion OF the Truth;
And lain would have this hallowed SPOT
A Mecca for our youth.
That journeying hither they may learn
To battle for the right,
Bearing Truths orifammP aloft,
Undaunted in the fight.
Through all our golden jasmine bowers,
And through magnoIia's bloom,
One name Wen wait on wings of loyo,
Thy hOnored name, CALHOUN.
Float it above the city's spires, pei
And DER the bays blue tide,
Tell how he battled for the South,
And battling thus-he died.
We women ask No brigh er fate,
We seek no lofti.r fame.
Than thus to link our memories
With his immortal name.
While History weaves for him her crown,
The fairest ever seen,
carolina's daughters long will strive
To keep the garland green. :
